Hi Jeff,

This does appear to be version related. We have added end-tasks=”true” to the submit-pending task as outlined below and now our workflow is completing properly.

Hi Jeff,

We are running Labs 3.0 Stable.

Thanks

Katrina,

What version of Alfresco are you running? In 3.1 they changed how AVM workflows work so mine may need some tweaking. I haven’t tested that no-approval submit in 3.1.

Hi Jeff,

Great book! Full of examples and useful information that I haven’t been able to find anywhere else.

I do have a question regarding WCM No-Approval Workflow, which we have implemented from your example. It appears that workflow does not complete after content is submitted – the ‘submitted’ task reports it is still in progress. As a result, the AVM store fills up with workflow nodes, and users end up with a long list of tasks to do.

Is this what you would expect, or have we implemented this incorrectly? We have found that changing ‘submitted’ from a task-node to a node solves the issue for immediate deployment, but this cannot be used for the ‘submit-pending’ task-node, which contains a timer.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Katrina

Mark,

Thanks for reading. I’m glad you are finding it helpful.

For Surf and Code Camp, take a look at:
http://www.slideshare.net/jpotts/tags/code_camp

Start with the Agenda to understand the preferred order for the rest of the presentations.

Regarding Eclipse, definitely the examples in the book assume that’s the IDE you are using. The source code and the Ant scripts will work even if you don’t use Eclipse. But, obviously, if you are using another IDE and you want to use it to build, you’ll have to configure it to point to the dependencies, source code, documentation, etc. I had to pick what I thought was the most widely used tool. Plus, the Alfresco SDK is already delivered with a collection of Eclipse projects.

Glad you got Glassfish working. If you’ve documented what you learned while doing that, please share the links.

Hi Jeff,

I’m working my through the book… I appreciate your examples. Also, the chapters cover a lot of good territory. A few things I’m fighting with. 1. No Surf examples. Are you coming out with Surf book anytime soon? 2. The examples are very eclipse-centric, which always requires a bit of translating for me. 3. When is your next code camp?

Anyway, I’ve gotten Alfresco running on glassfish and finally got Surf to pull a few web scripts out of Alfresco. Yay. Still, I have a lot to learn…

I have many examples; the best thing is probably that I send you en email (if I find one with a list of problems.

Thanks for reading. I’d like to help you through the parts that aren’t clear to you, but you’ll have to give me some specific examples of where you are having trouble.

Your book, I’m reading it at the moment end I have difficulties too progress because there are often bad explanation or things that are not entirely explained. I know I’m not very good in English but I didn’t meet such problems with the Alfresco Book form Munwar Shariff.
